Pigeons for Ornament and Use.

Pigeons are every year now being
valued more and more, not only rs orna-
mental birds in the fancy breeds but as
furnishing an exceedingly delicate article
Of food When reared for profit pigeons
must be comfortably housed over the
stable or some outbuilding or in house
specially built for their occupancy, where
they win he secure from cats, rats and
weasels, and where the owner has access
at all times TO their nests. The loft or
room il subdivided by lath work parti-
tions into as many apartments as are
desirable The main thing is to secure
cleanles', provide abundant and varied
food and furnish suitable nests. In
and about large cities the raising of
squads for market is an important in
dustry. Large lofts are hired at a merely
nominal price and the pigeons permitted
to forage in the streets at will The
result is a large number of squads are pro-
duced for sale at an exceedingly smah
cost. Pigeons begin breeding at the age
OF nine months and breed every month in
the year, except in the cold weather.

Have YOU heard of the "Fraidr of New
Hope church The night was dark as the
troops Of Har,lee's corps, four abreast and
stretching for miles. marched along a high
way from one part of the memorable battle
field to another. 1t was 10 O'Clock The
stiffness was broken by only the tramp of in
Vulnerable feet and the rattle of canteens
AGAINST bavonets. Suddenly in the air. ten
feet overhead burst the crashing and the
slashing of "A cavalry hatrle In midair was
The sound of rushing chargers, the clang of
saber meeting saheT, the roar, the din, every
thing save the shouts and groans. 1t was a
veritabe battle of spirits, fought i'll the dark
hess Just above the Confederate column, and
quick as flash terror seized Hardees men.
The great line parted in wild confusion, the
soldiers dashed into the woods, pursued by
visions of death on the pale horse, until weak
from fright many of them sank to the
ground The horror of those brief seconds
1t was not the crash of shells and the rattle
of musketry, men met men i'll daylight,
but it was the unseen battle of cavalry spirits
in the airl 1t was clash US ghost met ghost.
No wonder faces blanched and knees smote
each other as ears heard what eyes could not
see. After time the noise died away, the
officers rallied the men and the march was
resumed The soldiers called it "The Fraid of
New Hope Church, and speak of it to this
day one of the awful experiences of the
wal. 1t is thought the -'l'raid" was caused
by some unusual commotion somewhere
along the line, and that the cavalry battle
was the echo Of clashiis cabbards.-Atlanta
